Preview Changes v Carlton, Rd 9

[Topkent]

Sliding doors but * did we miss a trick with Isaac Smith. If he picks us * we would be a complete team

 

[Crimson Azure]

Where's it confirmed?

Goody mentioned it in a presser.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Interesting whether Weid or Tmac will give Max a chop out in the ruck, I don't really see Weid as a ruck at all though and should really be playing as a permanent forward, looking forward to seeing him play though, deserves his chance.

 

[pjfairbairn]

Don't agree with this. Hope he plays well and creates ongoing tough decisions, but I don't like the balance one bit

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Cheers Sandra Sully

What a babe she was.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Imagine, TMac goes into other ruck, Weid kicks 6 Ben Brown goes goaless.

Selection then....oh boy.

 

[mrmonkey]

Sliding doors but fu** did we miss a trick with Isaac Smith. If he picks us fu** we would be a complete team

Was thinking the same thing can understand why he didn't choose us. No one would have thought we would be going so well this year. We get Smith then we would get Brown I guess.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

The amount of blinking goody does while looking at the camera unsettles me greatly for some reason....

 

[00Stinger]

Imagine, TMac goes into other ruck, Weid kicks 6 Ben Brown goes goaless.

Selection then....oh boy.

Imagine TMac goes into the ruck has 15 touches, 15 hitouts kicks 2 goals and Weid & Brown kick 5 each

selection then.....wowee

Good call. So foolish of me.

 

[netslave]

Hope Weid continues the good synergy he had working with Brown in the VFL.
Be interesting to see who does the ruck work when Max is resting/rotating.

HF: Luke Jackson - Tom McDonald - Mitch Brown

We'd need Max taking the centre-bounce and then pushing forward if that's gonna work

 

[Bluelegs]

HF: Luke Jackson - Tom McDonald - Mitch Brown
F: Sam Weideman - Ben Brown - Bayley Fritsch

Our forwards:

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

OPTIMISTIC VIEW: If Jackson had to get injured (and this is Melbourne in an 8-0 season so he probably did) this is about the best scenario. 2 weeks off to freshen up with an injury that doesn't prevent you staying fit, while we actually get the chance to look at the Weideman/Brown combination that presumably our list management team intended to be Plan A for the year.

You'd imagine Gawn rucks all day and takes as many centre bounces as possible and then sits behind the ball, the three tall forwards take the ruck in the front half.

Big risk of the forward line being too tall so will be looking for Weid and TMac to work up the wings to make sure we've got good connection. Fritsch, Pickett and Spargo buzzing around Brown in the 50.

REALITY: Gawn, Tmac, Weid, Brown, Fritsch and Pickett all flying for the same marks 20m out from goal. We lose the next 2 games and Weid spends the rest of the year in the 2s and gets traded to Hawthorn for pick 45.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Our forwards:

Goody and his tall forward line.

Pickett is slowly learning to choose more wisely when to fly for pack marks, which is important. Don’t want to coach it out of him entirely but have noticed he’s shown more discretion as time has worn on and it’s allowed him to be more involved and thus dangerous in the contest

Spoiled Brown last week in the fourth quarter IIRC when he was in perfect position to mark it.

 

[CTHORANGE]

Where are those Weid deniers now?

Weid and Tmac to split the second ruck duties perhaps.

Weid Ruck No. Would send our Pickett into the ruck before Weid.

 

[Toump Ass]

Tommy Mac, Ben Brown, Weedyman, Slick, Kozzie, my boy Charles.

That's a ripper forwardline.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

He knows that Brown makes our forward line structure worse and so he was pre-emptively cutting it off. 4D chess from Kossie

 

[jhong]

It’s being reported that Jones limped from the track with what appears to be a hammy strain .

Oh noes! What will we do!
